I am baking these this morning.. as I was putting them together I noticed no leavener was in the recipe and no vanilla. I added both and my muffins look pretty normal in the oven. I was surprised no one else mentioned this. I think they would be pretty dense without any baking powder. Am I missing something here?
They are out of the oven now and were delicious. I didn't have Macadamias so toasted some pecans..

This recipe makes lovely breakfast muffins with a nice toasty aspect from the roasted nuts! I substitute walnuts for macadamia nuts to go for a more traditional combo. I also bake them for only 21-22 minutes to get a perfectly brown yet tender muffin, so be sure to check on them early! These muffins are definitely not as sweet as most other recipes--more breakfast than dessert, so if you like a sweeter muffin, I'd suggest adding an additional 1/4 cup of sugar.

I made this recipe as written; I didn't find it too sweet, unlike many of the other reviewers. In fact, it made me wonder if they were talking about some other recipe! The texture is great, but I found the flavor a bit lacking. I've made banana breads much better than this and will probably return to those recipes rather than making this one again.

This was the banana muffin recipe with the highest ratings, so I used it and omitted the cashews. I also "only" used 1/2 of the butter b/c I couldn't stomach a whole stick of butter. I added 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries since I had them on hand. My whole family loved them! I have some more brown bananas so we may have it later this week also.

Love this recipe. Probably the best muffin I ever made and I love muffins. I only had walnuts so that is what I used. I also added 1 1/2 Tablespoons of King Arthur Cake enhancer. It is supposed to make things soft and moist

I have to admit, I'm not a muffin fan, but I need good muffing recipe's for my small B&B biz. I made these and the only substitutions were buttermilk and walnuts, plus I had only 5 bananas (made a double batch). They were superb! My guests loved them & I ate two, which is a record for me. Thanks for all the great suggestions & reviews.

Made this recipe with pecans (what I had on hand) for some friends and they were delicious. Would definitely like to try with the macadamia nuts. This recipe is filed away for all those over-ripe bananas my husband leaves on the counter.

Loved this and will add it to my "best macadamia nuts recipes" blog on Squidoo. Try using fresh Hawaii Macadamia Nuts from Ahualoa Farms. The freshness and brand definitely makes a difference in taste. www.maunakeagold.com.

The flavor combination is unexpected but quite successful. The nuts cut down on the sweetness a bit and the nutmeg works well with bananas and macadamia nuts. Do make sure to toast the nuts as it makes a big difference.

I followed the path of many of the
other reviewers and cut the sugar a
bit. Also substituted walnuts a dark
chocolate chips for the macadamia nuts.
The outcome was most excellent!
Imagion using the macadamia nuts and
small white chocolate chips. Hmmn.
Happy New Year to all?

Really yummy, but not as exotic as I had hoped. Macadamia nuts kind of got lost in the flavor. Maybe keep larger or use a different nut. Also, probably would have liked more spice. Very cake-like and sweet/delicate.

Yum! Took earlier suggestions and halved the white sugar and added an extra banana. I also used half whole wheat and half white flour and added 2 Tbs wheat germ. These are delicious, light, moist and flavorful. Definite keeper.

This recipe is a great on it's own
and a great base for experimenting.
This time I made many of the
previous adjustments: reduced white
sugar to 1/4c., used 4 bananas and
used 1/2c. whole wheat flour + 1c.
all purpose flour. Some additional
changes I made: substituted 1/2
coconut oil for butter, substituted
1/4 coconut milk for milk, added
1/4t. coconut extract and added
unsweetened coconut and topped with
macadamia nuts, coconut and raw
sugar. The topping was beautiful and
crunchy, the muffins moist and
delicious!

This recipe is a
keeper, it's fool
proof!
I made a double
batch for a pot
luck lunch at work.
I used half the
butter and used
applesauce as well.
I also forgot to add
the milk. I was
concerned they
wouldn't come out
right.
They were good. I
used pecans, they
provided a nice
crunch.
I shared the recipe
and Epicurious with
a coworker.
